Laurissa will be a valuable asset at either forward position on the next level.

Lindsey Whiteside is a 5’10 guard/forward from Northpoint (MS) and a coach’s dream as a player. Lindsey has all the tools from lights out 3 point range, ball handling and vision, to almost perfect defensive rotation but what makes Lindsey special are her intangibles. Lindsey does all the things you cant teach: effort, energy and communication. She will dive on the floor for loose balls, instruct teammates on both ends of the court and even break into a little dance (check the highlight video). Lindsey is that glue player that every team needs; someone who does a little bit of everything. Lindsey will be participating in the Patosha Jeffery Fall Exposure League starting August 20th.
